Mrs. Frances Cunningham and
her daughter, Mrs. W. W. Goode,
ind her son, John Ooode, stopoed
over here to visit their rela

family, as they were returning
bo their home in Texas, from
Honolulu.
The entire family was at Scofield
Barracks on the Sunday
morning in December, "the day
that will live in infamy," when
the Japanese perfidious attaek
came.
Dr. Goode is a surgeon in the
army, and he and his family
were eating breakfast when the
bombing began. Dr. Goode stepped
outside and reported that
the planes bore the emblem of
he Rising Sun. His family took
shelter, and Dr. Goode donned
his uniform and rushed to the
hospital, where the wounded
were beginning to arrive. He remained
at his post of duty at
Hawaii when his family returned
to the United States.
The wortien of the family,
along with the other women at
Schofield Barracks, were ordered
to shelter in the basement of a
school building, where they
slept for three nights on the
concrete floor, with only light

Mrs. Cunningham and Mrs.
Goo.de stated here that x*s the
men of the army tried to reach
their guns and planes they were
bombed and machine-gunned,
and that most of the planes at
the main air base were destroyed.
However, some planes that
were located at a secret base
were manned and took the air
to give fight to the Japanese
surprise raiders.

? as a cat handles her kittens, and
i carried them across the stream.

Scrap Rubber
G. R. Lackey, chairman of the
Jackson County Salvage Committee,
and Dan Tompkins,
member of the State Salvage
Committee, have announced the
launching of the campaign to
bring in the scrap rubber of
Jackson County and place it into
the rubber supply of the
United States. Farm leaders, 4-H
boys and girls, Home Agent
women, Boy Scouts, and all organizations
and individuals are
called upon to answer the appeal
of President Roosevelt and
get the old rubber back into the
uses of the country.
Rubber is one of the vital materials
needed in the war effort,
and the Japanese conquests in
Malaya and the East Indies have,
practically cut off the sources
of supply. However, it is estimated
that there is enough
rubber in the homes, farms, and
garages of America to more than
make up the deficit, and to provide
a greater rubber pool for
America than our enemies can
possibly secure for their uses.
The synthetic rubber plants are
totally inadequate to meet the
needs of the country, and will
be for some time.
The campaign plan is for all
old rubber to be turned in to
the nearest filling station by
?n ?1
cne owners, ah persuua who ucsire
can donate the rubber to
the government. But, those who
desire pay for it, to be used for
Boy Scout work, 4-H work _or
for other or private purpoles will
be paid 1 cent per pound for all
rubber.
Practically all kinds of rubber
can be used, garden hose,
gloves, raincoats, tires, tubes,
bathing caps, rubber boots aftd
shoes, rubber heels, baby carriage
wheels, gaskets, nipples,
rubber toys, any and all old rubber
can be reclaimed and used
if it is turned in. The age of the
rubber makes no difference. No
amount of rubber that you mAy
have is too small, and none too
large.

IVANCE IN JACKSON COUNTY
Of Section
jened Soon
tent Agency
The United States government
began in earnest over the week
end to encourage the increase
of the output of mica in Western
North Carolina, through the
reopening of the mines that have
lain id^le for several years. Jackson
County was at one time the
largest^ mica producer of any
county in the United States, and
North Carolina has always been
Union's leading mica nro
ducing State. Graham W. Grindstaff,
appointed Field Representative
of the Colonial Mica Comp
ia n y, government sponsored
agency, on Saturday, arrived in
Sylva Monday morning and immediately
began conferring with
owners of mines here that have
produced in paying quantities
the classes of mica that the government
needs in the war effort.
Mr. Grindstaff was reared in
3ylva and has had wide experience
in the mica business as
miner, mine operator, and buyer
in this State, in Georgia, Alabama,
and New Hampshire. He ,
has wide knowledge of the mines
of Western North Carolina and \
a wide acquaintance with the
owners of mines and the public
generally. His appointment to
the position was hailed with general
satisfaction and gratifica
tion by the people here who are
interested in mica production. >>
Announcement was made on
Monday morning of the creation
of the Coloniial Mica corporation,
and the opening of offices in
Asheville. Mr. B. C. Burgess, of
Spruce Pine, was named general
manager of the corporation, and
his appointment met with general
gratification, for Mr. Burgess
is known as a man who is well
acquainted with the mica business
in all its phases. Edward
Fortner, of Spruce Pine was
placed in charge of the Asheville
office, and mineral men
throughout this area also approved
his selection.
Officers of the Colonial Mica
Corporation, a non-profit government
agency expect the output
of mica in North Carolina
to be trebled within a short
time, and it is such an increase
that is deemed necessary to meet
the need of the government's
war needs.
The corporation proposes to
make machinery available to
I 7
mine owners, whose mines produce
the classes of mica that are
vital to the nation's needs, and
to guarantee prices that are
sufficiently attractive to induce
the miners to begin operations.
The machinery will be leased at
reasonable rentals, and the government
will keep the prices at
a reasonably high level.
The flow of India mica to
America was mare responsible
than any one single cause for
the closing of many of North
Carolina's best mines. The mines
here were unable to compete
with cheap labor in the mines of
India, which produce high grade
mica. Ruby mica from India,
where labor was cheap, depressed
the mica business in Western
North Carolina. Now the foreign
sources are practically cut off,
and the people of America and
the United States government
are again turning to Western
North Carolina for the mica that
is so vital to the Army and Navy.
It is expected that there will
be a general response from the
people who own mica properties.
> They have been willing to oper'
ate their mines; but have not
had either the finances, nor the
machinery with which to operate,
nor have they been assured
that the price of mioa would
remain on a sufficient high level
to justify the expense of opening
up some of the best of America's
mines, which have been

Mica Corporation have issued a

plans of the corporation and

to correspond with the company
